Hearts

November 29, 1994

A heart to the Hartford Hellcats basketball team for joining with the Hartford Housing Authority to create a Hellcats Juniors league made up of youths from city housing projects. The players and coaches will serve as mentors to 24 teams of young people and might help them reach for goals well beyond their neighborhood games.

A heart to National Basketball Association star Vin Baker who earlier this fall donated more than $5,000 to the Farside youth center in Old Saybrook. Mr. Baker, who was graduated from Old Saybrook Senior High School in 1989, remembered his old town by providing money to repair a basketball court, build a second and pay for additional lighting.A thermometer-red heart and a happy anniversary to Hilton Kaderli of WFSB- TV for surviving 20 years of bringing weather news to Connecticut viewers without losing his affability. Mr. Kaderli's down-home style makes him ripe for teasing. But it has helped him endure in a region where the weatherman is often blamed for the changeable climate.
